Ohio: Library and information networks

Imagine a state where a student teacher in a rural elementary school classroom can check the holdings of the school district's high school library, order a video from the regional audiovisual center, reserve books for her students in the local public library, search databases provided by the local community college, show her students how to use the World Wide Web, view artifacts displayed in the state historical society, request that full‐image articles be downloaded for her students to use, and send an e‐mail message to her professor at the state university about a problem she is having in her classroom. All without leaving the classroom. All from one interactive workstation. All without incurring any direct costs.
